[KYOTA]

sweet ! nice job on the beadlocks. what did you guys use to cut them out and index the bolt holes?

[yotaboy79]

thanks for the kind words

Looks good dude!!!.Are those RockStomper beadlocks?.

nope there home made

sweet ! nice job on the beadlocks. what did you guys use to cut them out and index the bolt holes?

to cut them i used a circle cutter attachment on the pazma at work then i used a friends beadlock ring for a timplate for the holes then i stacked them all ontop of eachother and tack welded them togeather then drilled like hell it took about 2-3 hours to drill them i could of punched them but i was afraid they would warp

[KYOTA]

good job man! your truck sure has come a long way!!! have you thought about the Hammers run in April?

[yotaboy79]

thanks its come a long ways but it will never be done, im hoping to make the hammers run this year

[yotaboy79]

i ordered some new rubbers for the truck yesterday 39.5 irok's they only had one in stock so i took that one and the other three will be here sat. i cant wait

[yotaboy79]

ok heres a pic of the new rubber mounted up

[rednk1980]

looks really good dude. I like the new tires

[yotaboy79]

thanks, your truck is looken pritty good too

[rednk1980]

im thinkin some of those iroks are in my future as well. 

[yotaboy79]

thats what i like to here, you can clear them with some cutting ive only got about 4 maybey 5 inches of lift at most and clear them just fine

[rednk1980]

ill be running 6inches of all pro lift so i should clear the 37's just fine. 39's are to big for my axles

[yotaboy79]

just so you know the 37x13.5 iroks look like freaking balloones they have the narrowest tread width out of all the iroks but the over all width is the same if your getting iroks id get eather the 36 or the 39.5 or go with another tire but thats just me

[rednk1980]

thats the bias ply im getting the radials which are 12.50 not 13.50

[iNfErNaL]

Dude,that things coming out sick!!!!.Looks waaay different from the last time I saw it at The Rubicon in 2005.Keep up the good work.

[yotaboy79]

heres a pic of it in action and a picture of my screw up/close call last tues. night  i had to do one last trail and then this happens no dammage and got out safely but it was a little scetchy, the only thing that stoped me from sliding all the way down was the tree

[yotaboy79]

thanks, its had a few changes over the time
do you plan on going to the round up this year?

[KYOTA]

  close one

[yotaboy79]

your telling me that was some that snow might as well of been a solid sheet of ice it was slick

[rednk1980]

when its like that it takes all the fun out of wheelin. How did the tires work for ya?

[iNfErNaL]

thanks, its had a few changes over the time
do you plan on going to the round up this year?

I'll be there...You?.

[olivedrab85]

Nice work Kyle looks like you just missed a corner. 

[yotaboy79]

when its like that it takes all the fun out of wheelin. How did the tires work for ya?

no when its like that it makes it more fun nothin like a little pucker factor to get the heart pumping and the tires work freaking awsome they dont hook up quite as well on hard icey snow as the old sx's did but every where else there awsome

I'll be there...You?.

oh yeah ill be there

[robrub00]

nice build up thread.  looks cool.  I like the rear bumper you made early on.  are you still using it when you built the  flatbed?  also what seats are thoese out of? a jetta?

[yotaboy79]

thanks and that bumper got demolished it almost came off in 2 peaces and i dont know what the seats are out of but i like them they where sitting in the lobby of the local pick a part with a 40 dollar price tag on them so i baught them im pritty shure there from a toyota because the general mounting design was the same just a different hole pattern

[yotaboy79]

i picked up a new motor a 7mge as long as i can get it running its going in, i wanna get all the wiring done and hooked up and fire it in the truck it came in that way i dont have to pull mine apart tell i know its going to work the only thing im conserned about is that it wont be able to lug as well as the old 20r but i think its a sacrafice i can live with sense most the trails in oregon are muddy rocky and steep it should make it a little more interesting

[rednk1980]

sounds good now get to work! 

[yotaboy79]

well i guess its time that i update this resently it got arp hub studs and drive flanges and i sheered the bottom two studs holding the rear therd in it also pulled the two studs above that half way out and tweeked the housing a little so its back in the shop im doing hydro assist and new steering links out of of 1 1/4 .250 wall dom and 3/4 x5/8 hiems im also modifying my nuckles and steering arms to take a 5th stud i was gunna go all out and do a custom six stud settup but i dont have the time right now so that will probably happen later down the road when i get board and in the rear im doing a traction bar out of 1 1/2 .250 wall dom and im gunna give a set of pivot blocks a try and then to fix the little therd member stud issue im going to try and bend the housing back and then drill the housing and therd out to except eather 3/8 or 5/16 grade 8 bolts and tack weld them in from the back side ill have some pics up tomarrow
